All this filler is horrible, but I suppose it's still better than losing 5-6 minutes per episode to intro and recap ala One Piece. I gotta agree that Kabuto looks like garbage. The anime is still what, 55 or so chapters behind the manga, right?This filler is really just to pad the pockets of the production companies and sponsors.

The Kage's all have to have their turns fighting, we haven't got back to Sasuke yet, Naruto hasn't even really arrived on the battlefield yet, Madara hasn't fought yet, etc.

This filler crap is proof that the productions companies don't really care about the fans, they care about making money.
